NZ vs ENG, ODI Series, Match 3 Pitch Report

The last ODI played at this venue was way back in 2019, with batters getting enough assistance. It's wise to bat first after winning the toss, thanks to the flatness of the wicket. However, pacers will have a good time on this wicket, getting lateral movement.

New Zealand has been exceptional, winning two consecutive ODIs quite comfortably. Though England suffered two comprehensive defeats in the first two ODIs, we can expect them to make a strong comeback in the third and final ODI, as they have nothing to lose in this affair.
